Billy Bob Thornton and The Boxmasters in Concert

Academy Award© winner Billy Bob Thornton will perform two concerts featuring special guests The Boxmasters.

Billy Bob Thornton & The Boxmasters’ sound combines the influence of the Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Kinks, and the Animals, fused with Johnny Cash, Merle Haggard, Buck Owens, Roy Acuff and Hank Williams. Fashioned after a 1960’s-era mod band (including matching suits and ties!), The Boxmasters’ upbeat rhythms and infectious arrangements contrast sardonically with the very dark themes they explore lyrically. The tension that the disparity between the subject matter and the music creates lends itself to a truly unique musical experience that could only be produced by The Boxmasters.

“Electric Hillbilly music is probably the best description of The Boxmasters,” stated Billy Bob Thornton. “But the real idea behind The Boxmasters was both musically and in live performance, is like watching a combination of 60’s television shows like Dean Martin, Johnny Cash Show, all those variety shows, with electric hillbilly music — it’s a great blend.”
